tv   New Day With Alisyn Camerota and John Berman  CNN  June 29, 2020 5:00am-6:00am PDT

5:00 am
highest level yet. look at the curve rising, 31 states going in the wrong direction. more than half the country in deep rate, states increasing by 50%. california, texas, florida, you can see how they're doing. how bad is this? we pulled the map from memorial day about a month ago. look how much more red there is today. back then, only 18 states had rising cases. today 31 states have rising cases. back then, there were 10 or 11 states which were seeing a decrease, those are in green. today you can barely see the green, only four states showing a decrease in cases. health sec tarretary alex a saying control, and gathering closely without masks on is a recipe for disaster as vice president pence is now encouraging people to wear face mask. the president, however, focused on other things and still refusing to wear a mask.
5:01 am
randi kaye is live in west palm beach, florida. the beaches there will be closed over the holiday weekend, and there is growing concern about the new cases and hospitalizations there, randi. >> reporter: yes, we're on the beach here in palm beach county in west palm beach specifically. there's a few people out on the beach here, a few stragglers catching the early morning sunrise because as you said, they are going to lose their rights to come on the beach come the holiday weekend. we'll get more information today but palm beach county plans to close the beach for the holiday weekend, so does miami-dade and so does broward. they will all be closed. it's because they don't want to see a spike on top of the spike. already yesterday more than 8,500 new cases in the state of florida and if you think that sounds bad, it is. it's 144% jump above the previous sunday high. so things are definitely bad here in the state of florida, and if you take a look at who is getting affected the most here in the state of florida it's not
5:02 am
the elderly, it is actual lit younger people, the group that has the highest pass activity rate right now is 18 to 44-year-olds, specifically 25 to 34-year-olds. the governor is saying they have a 20% positivity rate. despite that, there is no mask mandate in the state of florida. the governor says he's not going to mandate masks. he's going to leave it up to people to do the right thing. it's certainly a sticking point among many. here is what one gentleman told us. >> first of all, i'm protecting you guys, because i'm wearing a mask, and i want people to protect me the same way because i don't want to get it and it's just selfish to go around without a mask and spread your germs when you're carrying it. seems very selfish to me. >> reporter: so some local governments are putting a mask mandate in place on their own, including miami-dade and there's good reason to do that certainly in that county. "the miami herald" reporting one-quarter of the new cases in
5:03 am
the state of florida are coming out of miami-dade county and that hospitalizations have risen there in miami for 15 days in a row, so certainly sounding the alarm, looking for that mask mandate in several counties here in the state. john, back to you. >> randi kaye on a fairly empty beach in west palm beach. as of this weekend, people are banned from going there at all. in a new interview dr. fauci says the current surge is fueled by americans ignoring guidelines about social distancing and wearing masks. >> there are crowds. they're not physical distancing and not wearing masks. that's a recipe for disaster. what you're seeing is community-based spread where 20% to 40% of the people who are infected don't have any symptoms. so the standard classic paradigm of identification, isolation, contact tracing doesn't work no matter how good you are, because you don't know who you're
5:04 am
tracing. they're out there, they don't even know that they're infected. >> joining us now, cnn chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. aszish gentleman is director of the global health institute. sanjay, something we heard from miguel marquez who did a stunning report from inside a houston hospital. i want to tell people that hospitalizations in texas and i think we have a graphic for this are way up, more than doubled in just a month. the hospitals are filling up in texas and what miguel tells us is they have no idea where the peak is in texas right now. this curve is rapidly increasing and they have no idea how high it will go. >> and they have to figure this out in terms of what their surge capacity is going to be. i mean, i think a lot of states sort of got lulled into a sense of, you know, this was maybe over or it was definitely going to be headed downward. you know, no surprise. i don't think there's any state
5:05 am
in the country that probably didn't have some of that potential sort of lulledt compln the country that is probably at risk. what are you going to do? miguel's report was amazing and also mentioned the health care providers going through eight different sets of ppe in a shift, as they take care of various patients and we talked about ppe shortages in the past, and we thought again, we were through that chapter, and now obviously we're seeing it and just in houston in miguel's report and other places around the country as well. >> as we look at this, we also heard from dr. fauci in that interview with elizabeth cohen. he talked about how some states were doing things well and some weren't. some would get an "a" and some a "c." he wasn't naming names or states as it were. when you juxtapose it with the editorial in "the wall street journal" which concludes by saying no one has done everything right in this pandemic and america's failure
5:06 am
reporting is excessive as donald trump's indicational claim that the pandemic will soon be over." basically saying it's not as bad as it looks, dr. gentleman. wou jha, what you would debris? >> i would not agree. it's pretty bad. we have a quarter of all the world's deaths. we have the worst response of any high-income country in the world. our numbers probably only look good in comparison to brazil and russia, but not to any industrialized country and they're heading in the wrong direction. so i don't want to overstate it, and there are states that have done i think a terrific job, but as a nation, we're really falling behind here. >> dr. jha, one point you've written in the last few hours, some people are pointing to the curve in the death rate, the number of daily deaths. it's still decreasing or it's fairly low. one of the reasons that people think this might be is because
5:07 am
right now it is younger people, by younger i mean younger than 50 people being infected and filling up the hospitals but you warn this may not be a metric that you want to lean into. >> yes, so first of all, there's no question that younger people do better than older people with this disease. the point i was trying to make in my social media post was that by the way there's' true for every disease. young people do bet we are heart attacks, with pneumonia than older people do, so that's not an unusual feature. the other point is when people get sick enough, we're seeing hospitalizations of young people, when people get sick enough to be hospitalized, and we're seeing a lot of young people in hospitals, they do quite badly. a 40-year-old with covid who is hospitalized has about the same mortality as a 70-year-old with a heart attack. so once you're sick enough to be in the hospital, it's a pretty serious disease. >> and sanjay, we talk so much about the simple things that can
5:08 am
be done, wearing a mask that not only protects other people but you as well and you have a couple of great examples that you can walk us through, just to show how much that can make a difference. >> yes, i don't know what gets through ultimately in terms of getting people to wear masks but i do find some of these stories really, really compelling. we hear about these big sort of events, i think we have this example of a birthday party in california, one person shows up symptomatic, not wearing a mask, some of the other guests not wearing masks. what happens at a party like that, and people about this, because this is their lives, thinking about parties, thinking about fourth of july. one symptomatic person. obviously if you're symptomatic you should stay home but regardless, potentially infected up to 11 other people, that one person. now, people may also remember the hairdressers in missouri who also had symptoms but both of them wore masks. they did certain things like
5:09 am
they staggered appointments, they had physical distancing within the salon, things like that. 147 close contacts. you're cutting their hair, that's a close contact. 46 of the people were subsequently tested negative, others quarantined and watched, none developed symptoms. two symptomatic people with close contacts but wore masks, did not end up infecting seemingly anybody else i think is significant. it goes to remind that if you wear a mask even if you don't have symptoms, even if you're carrying the virus t goes a long way towards protecting those around you. >> dr. jha, they're closing bars in texas and florida, some counties in california. how far will that go toward making things better as the number of new cases and hospitalizations increases in those states? >> i think in the hot spots of the country, arizona, texas, florida, parts of california, we really have to ask the question, can we afford right now to have any indoor gatherings of any
5:10 am
kind including restaurants, bars, any night clubs or some places with nightclubs still open. all of that stuff i think has to shut down. i'm not necessarily as supportive of shutting down beaches. i think we can keep beaches open and not have them get overly crowded, that would be fine, but indoor spaces really are the high risk and then of course as dr. gupta just said do mandatory mask wearing in all of those places. it's going to be very hard to get through this without that. >> they're not doing mandatory mask wearing statewide at least in texas and florida, leaving it to the local officials there and i don't think that's going to change based on the political will of the leaders there. dr. jha and dr. gupta, thank you both thech. >> thank you. >> thank you. mississippi lawmakers move to get rid of the confederate flag on the state emblem. we'll discuss that change, next. i'm bad.
5:11 am

5:13 am
you're stronger than you know. so strong. you power through chronic migraine, 15 or more headache or migraine days a month. one tough mother. you're bad enough for botox®. botox® has been preventing headaches and migraines before they even start for almost 10 years, and is the #1 prescribed branded chronic migraine treatment. botox® is for adults with chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting 4 hours or more. effects of botox® may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. don't receive botox® if there's a skin infection. tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions,
5:14 am
and medications including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. go on with your bad self. you may pay as little as zero dollars for botox®. ask your doctor about botox® for chronic migraine. you got this. . the fired minneapolis police officers officers charged in the killing of george floyd will appear in court today. derek chauvin is charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter, the others charged with failing to step in as chauvin kept his knee on floyd's neck for minutes. josh campbell is live in man p minneapolis with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, john. the next phase in the prosecution of those four officers charged in the death of george floyd will be taking place behind me in a matter of hours and there are so many angles to this that we are watch. first, wondering if we'll get an indication of what derek
5:15 am
chauvin's defense strategy will, the former officer charged with second-degree murder. is he the officer seen on that bystander video with his knee on george floyd's neck. now i was in court here earlier this month and two attorneys or two of the officers charged were pointing to derek chauvin and his seniority, saying he is largely to blame for george floyd's death. we're waiting to see whether chauvin's attorney will counter that, what that defense strategy will be and secondly whether today will be the day we see motions to dismiss the charges in this case by defense attorneys, that's not unusual in murder cases. i talked last night with an attorney for one of the officers who said they are very much in the process of seeking to have these charges dismissed. we're waiting to see whether that will happen today and finally, will there be protests outside court. this is a community that has been closely watching developments in this investigation. we also know that the police union here has come out and said that they believe these four officers were denied due process
5:16 am
and fired prematurely. this is shaping up for a possible heated exchange here outside of court, should different parties with those differing views come out to protest. cnn has a team from across the country. we will be inside court, monitoring developments outside and of course continue to bring you the latest. erica? >> looking forward to the updates, thank you. developing overnight, mississippi lawmakers voting to remove the confederate emblem by the state flag. >> by a motion of 36-14 the motion passes. >> governor tate reeves plans to sign the bill into law, a new flag designed without the confederate symbol goes before voters in november. joining me is wes moore, it's great to have you with us this morning. i'd love first of all just to get your take on what we saw happen in mississippi, after 126 years. >> this was the absolute right vote and long overdue vote but the truth is we need to reckon
5:17 am
with the decision to make the state flag that in the first place. loving your country doesn't mean lying about its history and what comes next? how we will not only have this new flag but also policies to the state that speaks to the residents is going to be incredibly important. it's important for people to remember and recognize, mississippi has the highest percentage of black residents in the country. 37%. mississippi also has the highest poverty rates in the nation at 20%. and so making this decision on this flag was important. it was imperative but also now the next steps about how they can remedy the impacts of segregation and racism. >> it's important that it go beyond that, to your point. the president over the weekend retweeted video of a supporter from florida saying "white power" twice. the white house said in a statement the president didn't hear what this person said but saw the tremendous enthusiasm from supporters. what stood out to me in that
5:18 am
statement from the white house deputy press secretary of president and the white house did not denounce the racism we saw in the video. at this point, do you think it would make a difference if the president did say i don't condone this language? i don't agree with white power? would it make a difference at this point? >> it would make a difference because the silence is deafening. black lives matter is a call that after centuries of disproportionate, violent and traumatic treatment of black people at the hands of police that no one seemed to care that a call rose from the black community by three black women initially that our lives do matter because for many people they felt like it didn't. to hear or to not hear even acknowledgment of that, it does matter and the thing that's important for everybody to recognize, to include the administration is no one said black lives matter more. justice isn't competitive. it's literally called equality, and so for the response that we heard, even from the administration that it needs to
5:19 am
be all lives matter, it's designed to be dismissive and it's noticeable. >> and you can't say that all lives matter if you're not willing to say all lives matter, black lives matter, and they should be included. i want to talk about your book because there are so many interesting points in it and obviously it is so relevant to what we're seeing today. i want to pull an excerpt from it first. you talk about institutions and you write "in that chaos, you feel a need to rely on the institutions that are supposedly in place to support you and your family, your school, your police of worship, your city government, your fire department, your police department. the individuals who make up these institutions pledge to uphold your best interest and safety, to protect and serve but what happens when those pledges are broken, when those institutions break down?" this is something that black americans and people of color have been saying for decades, if not centuries. do you think, though, that message is finally starting to come through, that these
5:20 am
institutions, right, are not holding that pledge with americans in the same way, in many ways, in many places just because of the color of their skin. >> and it's something that we all as black americans have not been saying, but frankly, it's been our taxpayer dollars, our work that's been helping to build a lie. it's important for people to have a frank and honest conversation about the history of this country, and how this country was built and the fact that i should feel and my family should feel just as much ownership in this building as anyone else's family so i think what the beckonning call and the cry for right now when we say how do we address these things, how do we address the fact these things continue to happen and it's not just about inequitiay e able policing. it is deal with race and
5:21 am
systemic racism embaked into a larger system and how can we deliberate about rebuilding a system as we were deliberate making a system have the caste elements so many people feel as outsiders in the promised american dream. >> you helped put it into context you took about who freddie gray was and how he grew up and the challenges he faced from his birth and so part of what you write is freddie gray and so many other boys grew up in the type of poverty that permeates everything, how you're educated, the water you drink, the home you live n the air you breathe, the school you spend most of your day in, the way you're policed, whether or not you will die in the same poverty you were born in." we are seeing this not only in the story of freddie gray but seeing this right now unfolding the story of coronavirus and we talk about underlying conditions and we talk about the environment and why black and brown people are impacted. it's such a different rate. it's because of all of these same reasons. >> that's right.
5:22 am
we've had these twin crises our nation faced. one is the crisis of a virus and other is the unneeded reminder of the way police are disproporgtately treating people. when you look at covid-19 impacted all of us but not equally. african americans and people are color are contracting and dying at twice the rate, same thing with neinequitable policing. with freddie it was not just the police who failed him. this young man grew up in true deep poverty, born underweight, he was born addicted to heroin, his mother lived in poverty for all of her life and battled addiction. the home he moved into when he gained enough weight to move out of the hospital was a home that had indemic levels of lead in it, 2009 cited in a civil lawsuit because the indemic levels of lead, so this was a
5:23 am
young man lead poisoned, born underweight, addicted to heroin. his last attended school date was when he was 19 years old so it was not just the police system that failed freddie gray. everything failed freddie gray. >> one last quick question for you. we're tight on time. as you look at everything that is happening, long overdue, let's be honest, does it give you hope in this moment? >> yes. i'm hopeful that we are going to be better, and i'm hopeful because i'm a student of history. i'm a student of history of understanding that we have had real progress. we have now where the three founders of black lives matter years ago were called terrorist by people and now every corporate place and every person is acknowledging, most people are acknowledging the role of black lives matter and the role it's played in pushing our society forward. the thing that i'm hopeful for, though, and i'm, i want to push for is that progress is not inevitable. progress is something that we
5:24 am
have to push for and talking about the moral arc, bending towards justice, it doesn't happen automatically. it happens because we have people from all over who are pulling on it to make sure that the arc bends towards justice. >> wes moore, really appreciate you joining us this morning. thank you. >> thank you. california is closing down bars in several counties as new coronavirus cases soar in the state. california's lieutenant governor joins us live. presentation of al fourth! with your hosts john stamos and vanessa williams and performances from coast to coast. featuring: patti labelle, john fogerty, the temptations, andy grammer yolanda adams, renée fleming, trace adkins brian stokes mitchell, chrissy metz, mandy gonzalez, and a tribute to our frontline workers. it's the fortieth anniversary of a capitol fourth. saturday july fourth, eight- seven central. only on pbs. did you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance ta-da!

5:29 am
so my question is, why? why is it happening in your state? >> well, thank you so much for having me. it's great to be with you, and it's great to have an opportunity to continue to send the message to people in california and all over the country that the virus is still out there, still deadly and everybody should be wearing masks and taking precautions but your question is the right one. why is it growing when we know we've been under locke down for months. california was the first state to issue the stay-at-home order and the fact of matter this is a contagious virus. even though we flattened the curve, even though our positivity rate was well under 5% because we lifted the order and people are back out there, in non-essential work and manufacturing, reopening some restaurants, going to each other's homes for backyard parties and unfortunately people
5:30 am
have not been taking adequate precautions, and so the governor yesterday issued an order to close down the bars in about, in seven counties, because frankly, bars are just high-risk areas for infection. so we've always known that we might have to toggle things back and this is an example of that, but we still have flattened the curve in california and we're very, very serious about keeping the number, the overall rate of infections down. >> is closing bars going to be enough in some of these counties, where the cases are rising and if people aren't listening, how do you make them listen? >> well, i think that we've been pretty good in this state about people listening. i think there was just a false sense of security elethat when things started easing up, it meant it was more safe. what it really meant is that we were prepared. we have 50,000 more hospital beds. we have 250 million masks that
5:31 am
we've ordered and have on the ready. people preparing to are sick does not mean anyone should want to see more people get sick so we're sounding the alarm again. i think the issue with the bars is that it's hard to socially distance in a bar. if you're drinking and you're talking to your friends, it's easy to take that mask down. we know that close contact for at least 15 minutes with someone who is infected is very likely to transmit to another person. so bars were always high-risk, and this is a way i think both to stop the spread of infection, but also send the message to people, look, we're not out of the woods. we have to continue to take every single possible precaution, and i do think people in california believe science and are going to pay attention and adjust their behavior. >> you know, it's interesting because i think people look at the map and see california and
5:32 am
they see ooh, a liberal state where everyone agrees with all the measures for mask wearing and everything else. california is a big state with a diverse array of opinions and there are counties very rural counties where mask wearing is not at all popular right now. so with these populations, how helpful would it be to have national leadership saying wear masks. >> well, it is extremely important, and honest, i was very happy to see mike pence finally putting a mask on and signaling and you know i think that's probably going to be helpful in places like texas and yes, probably in the central valley, in parts of our state, where you do have more people who are listening to the signaling out of washington, which has been something like you know, a mask is politicized, if you're in a red state, you reject it, if you're in a blue state, you wear it. this is ridiculous. it's like sunscreen. you wear it to protect yourself,
5:33 am
and in this case, of course, you really wear it to protect others and to stop the spread. so california by and large very science-based. we've done a really good job in flattening our curve. i do hope that the federal government will continue to message now that people should wear them. the whole thing has been certainly discouraging. it's time to get back on track and really stick to the science. >> the president hasn't done it yet certainly when it comes to masks. we may have seen it over the weekend for the vice president, not the president. a lot of people often look to california for guidance on education, the biggest school system probably in the world for all i know but certainly in the country. given the rise in cases, how about that affect the decision whether or not to have schools come back with in-person teaching? >> well, i think you've hit, actually on the hardest part of what our phased reopening is going to look like. everything else, the protocols are in place.
5:34 am
we're talking about adults, you're talking about places where people might go for a short period of time. a lot of businesses are able to continue to run with people working from home. schools is really, really hard. we have millions of kids who are ready to go back to school in the fall, and having the appropriate protocols, figuring out what to do with small children. we have a lot of work ahead of us, and the school districts across the state are working with local health officials as well as with state health officials to really try to figure this out. it's going to involve soernl distancing in the classroom. it may involve mask wearing in the classroom. we're talking about hand sanitizing stations, disinfecting classrooms, keeping our educators safe. this is going to be really i think everything come this fall the biggest challenge that we have. >> state, city school districts and parents trying to figure
5:35 am
this all out right now. lieutenant governor, we really appreciate you coming on "new day." please come back to "new day" soon. >> yes, i appreciate it. thanks. bye. so reports that russia paid taliban forces to kill u.s. troops in afghanistan, details on what the president knew and new reaction from the kremlin, next.
5:36 am
5:37 am
5:38 am
5:39 am
developing this morning, "the washington post" reports russia offered bounties to taliban fighters in afghanistan to kill coalition forces, believed to have led to the death of u.s. troops. overnight president trump denied he was ever briefed about it. he said the intelligence was not credible. moments ago the kremlin responded to these reports. nick paton walsh is live in london with details. good morning. >> reporter: as you might imagine the kremlin calling these reports a hoax, a lie and pointing to president donald trump's own suggestion that in fact the intelligence wasn't credible enough for him to be briefed on it as proof maybe there's nothing behind these allegations, but i have to tell you the latest saturday night we were speaking to a european
5:40 am
intelligence official who confirmed the existence of this russian military intelligence plot to offer cash rewards to the taliban to kill coalition soldiers, american soldiers. they believed in fact that plot had resulted in coalition casualties. it wasn't clear what nationality number or nature of casualty, but now we hear "the washington post" saying they believe in fact it may have resulted in american deaths. u.s. officials speaking to my colleagues barbara starr in washington also confirmed this plot but also seemed to some degree to still be looking for verification of that intelligence information, although they, too, believe in fact that money did, in fact, change hands and those cash rewards were given to the taliban. the taliban they said they have nothing to do with this, they are looking for peace and don't need russians to tell them how to run their insurgency but all of this extraordinary occurs, when valued discussions are under way, and stalled because a
5:41 am
prisoner exchange didn't go quite through. the white house response so far initially was not to play down the intelligence but to say the president hadn't been briefed on it. that in itself is startling, if indeed american lives were lost because of russian military intelligence cash payments to militants as bounties t would be remarkable the commander in chief hadn't been told about it, but still it seems the focus at this point from the white house response is that nature of the story, their own process of briefing, rather remarkably than this allegation itself, stark as it is in america's longest war limping toward a peace resolution. it leaves many afghans in per pill >> major questions about the substance of the reporting as you're pointing out right now and also the process behind what went on here. nick paton walsh, thanks for being with us. texas trying to contain the outbreak in its state with hospitalizations more than doubling in just a few weeks. cnn has reporters covering the pandemic from coast to coast. >> reporter: i'm alexandra field
5:42 am
in houston, texas, where the case count is soaring. governor greg abbott trying to get control of the surge here by shutting down bars. he says the majority of cases are now affecting younger people. still, icus hit their capacity in houston last week. hospitals across houston are not moving to their surge capacity plans and local health officials are warning it could be just a matter of weeks before hospitals are entirely overwhelmed. i'm paul vercannen in los angeles. a 27-year-old man says 28 of his family members contracted covid-19, that includes his father, 60-year-old vidal, who died the day before father's day, richard guarai the son wants everyone to know about the story. they were extremely cautious, they says. they used the hand sanitizer, socially distanced, they were also wearing their masks. they don't know how the father got it but if it happened to their family t can happen to anyone.
5:43 am
i'm natasha chen in pence low ka beach, florida. less than two months from the republican national convention being held in jacksonville, florida, governor ron desantis visited this area sunday to address the rising number of cases of covid-19 across the state, reminding to wear a mass income public and not be in crowded spaces with a lot of other people, all things that would be happening at a convention of that size. we asked whether he assured president trump he could hold such a large gathering indoors with no masks requirement. desantis said it's a dynamic situation, one he hopes would improve two months from now. u.s. stocks are hoping to stake off the surge in coronavirus cases. stock futures pointing up now ahead of the open. cnn anchor julia chatterley joins me now. good morning. >> good morning. we're in a type of war situation between the bounce-back in data from the lows of locke down versus the challenges that we're seeing all over the place in terms of rising cases of covid. take a look at what we saw last
5:44 am
week. this makes sense to me. we saw stock markets go down as cases rise. we saw it happening across a number of different states including the biggest as you just mentioned, erica, text ex-of course, stalling reopening efforts. that's going to have economic consequences. it's going to slow the recovery. we just don't know how much and the reality for stocks is that it's anything but clear, based on what we've seen year-to-date. if i just give you a look at the performance and we talked about this so many times, we started off the year in an 11-year bull market. then we made record lows in record speed, and now we've bounced back and this is the big challenge for investors, it's the case of what next? and it's so hard to predict. key to this initially is going to be data, like job this is week. thursday we've got non-farm payrolls, we're expecting to see a further 3 million jobs added. that will take the unemployment rate down to just over 12%, but as we discussed all the time on this show, we know the situation
5:45 am
is worse than that for people who have lost pay, people who have lost hours in addition to those simply aren't registered as unemployed. we have jay powell, steve ma ch nuchin speaking on tuesday. however good the data is, more support is needed. it's going to be a busy week. >> even'unemployment rate goes down to 12%, it's still 12% which is incredibly high. julia chatterley, thanks so much for your reporting. here is what else to watch today.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ i'm really appealing to every texan to wear a mask. i think we know now there's scientific evidence that masks both keep you from infecting others but may also partially protect you from getting infected. i think that's a new discovery, and a new finding, and it's very encouragin encouraging. >> dr. deborah birx telling americans what a lot of us already know, wearing a mask helps protect you and others from the virus. yet some people are still against wearing them. watch the reaction after palm beach county, florida, passed a
5:51 am
mask ordinance last week. [ indiscriminate yelling ] >> back with us chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. as a man of science, a doctor, when you show that reaction, when you see that kind of rage to people being asked or required to wear masks, how does it make you feel? >> that's not about science anymore i don't think. i think there's something else at play here, it's about people feeling like they don't want to be told what to do or others can't tell them what to do. i don't know. because i think the science is pretty clear. i think as you mentioned, we've known for some time, certainly about the ability of the masks to prevent others around you from getting sick. i wear a mask every day when i'm in the hospital, when i'm in the operating room. i'm wearing a mask to prevent putting my own germs into the operating room, where i'm operating, it's a sterile
5:52 am
environment, the same sort of concept here. so that evidence is pretty clear, so it's what i see there with that sort of back-and-forth is unscientifically based concern that could lead to a real problem or is already leading to a real problem in terms of the spread of this virus. we don't have a lot of options at this point. masks are one of the best things we have to try to slow this thing down. >> we know the president does not want to wear a mask. secretary azar was just asked about this a short time ago, why the president shouldn't be wearing a mask. take a listen. >> the president's situation is very different, as the leader of the free world. he's the most tested person probably on earth. everybody who is with him is tested before they wr hare with that day. kept in that protective bubble there so it's a different situation. >> is it different enough that he doesn't need a mask, sanjay? >> no. it's not different enough. there are so many things in there. first of all, people around him,
5:53 am
he should be wearing a mask. he could still be harboring the virus even if he's getting tested. the tests, you know, we know can have up to 15%, 20% false negative rate. also when you're tested, you are negative at that time. you could become positive thereafter and still potentially infect teapeople. there is an example he should be setting for the country at a time when we're in deep trouble with regard to this virus. the other part of it is interesting, a little bit of a side issue is the testing. on one hand they talk about testing not being necessary and on the other hand he gets tested as do the people around him every day because they know that testing makes a difference in terms of starting to get things to some sense of normalcy. that's not a mask issue specifically but that really, i mean, that really i think is, it burns, because you know, one hand, we should be in a better testing position than we are in this country. we talked about having breakthroughs two months ago in terms of testing and still
5:54 am
people can't get tested. i work at a hospital where i know health care workers sometimes still can't get tested when they need to be tested, end of june. that's still the situation here. let me show you quickly about masks, in terms of the effectiveness overall. we know in terms of people who wear masks, the likelihood of transmission versus people who are not wearing masks, the likelihood of transmission. there it is. this is from the lancet, pretty good study. if you're wearing a face mask, 3% chance of transmission. if you're not b a 17% chance of transmission. it's not perfect but if you start to extrapolate that to large groups of people around the country, you could make a huge difference. >> thousands of people potentially. sanjay, there are also these scams out there. people who don't want to wear masks are going to great ends to not wear masks. we have a picture of one of these fake face mask exempt cards i think we can put up so people can see. they're producing these laminated cards which say they
5:55 am
don't have to wear a mask. the u.s. attorney for the middle district of north carolina had to put out a statement that said don't be fooled by the chicanery of misappropriation of the doj eagles. they these cards do not carry the force of law. people want to get around these the best they can. >> i don't know why people right now at this time in our history going through what we're going through are looking for these types of loopholes to basically get around basic public health precaution. nobody wants to be in the situation that we're in and we're not going to be in it forever. why wouldn't we all do what we can do to get through this? if you're a child under the age of 2, shouldn't wear a mask. someone not fully conscious shouldn't wear a mask, somebody who can't take the mask off themselves shouldn't wear a mask. i've been wearing a mask for 25 years. there's no problem with wearing a mask and it could help us get through this. >> you have a great face, it's a shame to cover it unless you have to but sanjay, there are times like now when faces have
